Today we have been learning to be computer programmers using scratch.
We focused on learning how to move our sprite. Can you remember what the sprite is?
We also changed the background and started putting some commands together like a puzzle.

Red Class and the Bee-Bots
We have been programming Bee-Bots. We investigated all the buttons and discovered how to make them move and turn. We programmed them to move between different spaces on the carpet.
Bee bots – Following instructions
Today we focused on moving the bee bot forwards and backwards following a sequence of instructions. We practised pushing these buttons to make the bee bot move.
Once we had practiced we looked at a set of instructions that were already written. Then we predicted where out bee bot would land after those instructions. We programmed the bee bots to check.
Making numbers with Beebots!
Last week we programmed our bee bots to write numbers! It was quite tricky but we didn’t give up ! Can you tell someone at home what the different arrows mean?
Bee bot
Today we have been using the bee bots again. This time we were concentrating on the buttons – forwards, backwards, turn left and turn right.
We worked with our partner to try and get our bee bot to follow the lines of a number. It was quite tricky but we had to show resilience and keep going!
You could practise the buttons of the bee bot at home by programming someone at home. Can you give them some clear instructions using only the buttons on the bee bot? Maybe you can get them from one room to another?
Look at the video below of Lilly and Rihanah’s bee bot making a number 3.
Bee-bots!
In computing, we have been experimenting with the Bee-bots. We can make them move forwards and backwards and turn left and right.
Are you looking forward to using them again?
Bee bots!
Today we started becoming computer programmers. We looked carefully at all the buttons on the bee bot. Then we started experimenting giving it instructions by pushing the buttons.
We got the bee bots to move forwards and backwards, turn around and even dance!
1B Times tables stars
Wow!
What fantastic times tables! In year one we have been practising our 2, 5 and 10 times tables. We do lots of skip counting in class.
You can also practise your times tables at https://ttrockstars.com/
Everyone took home their username and password last week. The school’s post code is se6, you might need this when you log in.
We will be putting another copy of their username and password in their reading records next week.
Year 4 Computing
This term, Year 4 are becoming toy designers! They are using their Scratch skills to program a toy. Today, we’ve been reminding ourselves how to use Scratch, and of all the different things we can do on it!
